evil is alive and well

what doesn't always have a shape?

almost never doesn't have a name

maybe has a pitchfork

maybe has a tail

but evil is alive and well

it might walk upright from out of the inferno

may be coming horseback through deep snow

it's ragged and fat

it's hungry as hell

and evil is alive and well

now evil is alive

evil is well

evil is alive

evil is well

now on your feet to the tower and yell

evil is alive and well

may be too humble to want to speak

may have a blood soaked bird in it's teeth

smoked filled skies and bees in the well

and evil is alive and well

now maybe in a palace

it may be in the streets

may be here among us on a crowded beach

it may be asleep in a roadside motel

but evil is alive and well

now evil is alive

evil is well

evil is alive

evil is well

now on your feet to the tower and yell

that evil is alive

it's well

down in every ditch

up on every hill

it's well

i've got my radio on drowning the bells

when midnight's done and the day won't start

and all i ever gave you was a broken heart

it's hard to admit but it's easy to tell

that evil is alive and well

now evil is alive

evil is well

evil is alive

evil is well

now on your feet to the tower and yell

that evil is alive

evil is alive

it's well

evil is alive

it's well

evil is alive and well
